JOSEF ROGGY, OF SAAB LOUIS, PRUSSIA, GERMANY.

COIN-ASSORTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 401,593, dated April16, 1889. Application filed June 28, 1888. Serial No. 278,421. (Nomodel.)

To all whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOSEF ROGGY, a subject of the King of Prussia,German Emperor, residing at the city of Saar Louis, in the Kingdom ofPrussia, German Empire, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Money-Tills, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved apparatus for receiving andassorting coins of various denominations.

The object of the present invention is to provide a safety cash box orreceptacle provided with a receiving-table by which the money is passedinto the interior of the device, where it is sorted and coins of thesame size and denomination passed into separate compartments orreceptacles, so that all coins of the same denomination will be keptseparate and distinct.

With these ends in view my invention consists in certain novel featuresof construction and combinations of parts, more fully de-` scribedhereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation of theapparatus. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is avertical cross-section in the plane of x Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a top' plan.

In the drawings, the reference-letter 'B indicates a revolvingreceivingtable upon which the coins or money to be paid in are placed,and which consists of a circular disk carried by a vertical shaft orspindle, b, journaled at its lower end in a bearing, b3, carried by asuitable bracket secured to the frame of the receptacle. The shaftpasses looselyr through a plate, b2, located beneath the revolving diskor money-receiving table B, and supported by the frame of thereceptacle. A iiange or ring, c, is secured to the plate b2, andsurrounds and extends above the surface of the receiving-table B, toform an edge around the same and prevent the coins from falling off. AiiXed guide-piece, B', is secured just above the upper face of thereceiving-table B, and said guide tapers to a point from the centertoward vthe periphery of the revolving table, and is secured to theflange or ring c at V its point and forms the bearing for the upper endof the spindle of the receiving-table. The ange c is provided withopenings upon each side of the point of guide B and at the upper end ofan inclined raceway or channel, d, which extends downwardly and opensinto a receptacle, l, having an inclined bottom formed by an endlessconveyer or belt, g, operating' over two rollers, h h', one of which,h', is preferably adjustable to allow the belt-to be tightened orloosened, as desired, and the other roller, 7L, is mounted upon adrivingshaft, f, for the purpose hereinafter set forth.

The conveyer g is supported between the rollers by a fiat piece, g', toprevent the belt sagging under the weight of the money carried by thesame.

A shaft, j', is journaled in the frame, and is provided upon its frontend with a handcrank, f', and near its opposite end with a pulley, e,connected by a cord or other means with a pulley, b4, on the spindle b,and, as before mentioned, the roller h, for operating the conveyer, isalso mounted on said drivingshaft. Thus it will be seen that when thehandle f is turned the spindle b, and with it the table B, is rotated,and the money lying 4upon the said table slides along the inclined sideof the guide and passes through the slot in the flange c, down theinclined channel cl, upon the lower end of the conveyer g, which issimultaneously operated by the roller h. The money is carried upward bythe conveyer and delivered into a hopper, t', through which it falls inan upright position upon an inclined and angularly-placed sorting-bar offrame 7o, provided with slots It', corresponding to the differentdiameters of the various coins. The coins roll down the sorting-bar loin an inclined position until they reach a slot, 71:', corresponding totheir particular diameter, when they fall through the slot into areceiver, m, provided with a separate compartment located below eachslot in the sorting-bar. Said sorting-bar is provided with as many slotsas there are different sizes of coin in use, which depends upon theparticular money system in vogue. In this way the money paid in at thetable B will be automatically sorted and distributed into the correctcompartments.

The sorting-bar 7c and the receiver mI are IOO fitted in a case Which isprovided with a door capable of being locked.

From the drawings and the foregoing description the great utility andusefulness of the device herein set forth will be evident to allpersons; hence it is not necessary to herein fully enumerate the same.It is also evident that various slight changes and modifications mightbe made in the form and arrangement of the parts described withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope of my invention; hence I do not Wishto limit myself to the precise construction herein set forth, butconsider myself entitled to all such changes and modications.

Vhat I claim is# I. A coin-assorting apparatus comprising a horizontalrotatory coin-receiving table, an

inclined channel extending from the periphery of said table, an arm toguide the coin on the table into said channel, and an inclined andangularly-placed sorting-bar upon the upper end of Which the coin fromsaid channel is discharged, said bar being provided with a series ofdifferent-sized apertures and separate compartments beneath theapertures.

2. In a cash-receptacle, the combination, with a receiver, of a rotatoryreceiving-table provided With a stationary annular flange around itsouter edge extending above its upper face and having a discharge-openingand channel, and a guide-piece on the upper face of said table taperingtoward said dischargeopening in the annular iiange.

3. In a cash-receptacle, the combination of a rotatoryreceiving-tablemounted upon a vertical spindle, an annular flange provided With adischarge-opening and forming an edge around and extending above theupper face of the table, a driving-shaft, and gearing connecting theshaft and spindle, whereby the table can be rotated.

4. A coin-assorter comprising a horizontal rotatory coin-receiving tablemounted upon a vertical spindle, a discharge-channel to receive the coinfrom the table, and a stationary arm extending over the table andadapted to guide the coin toward the periphery of the table into saidchannel, substantially as described.

5. A coin-assorter comprising a rotatory coinreceiving table, a conveyerupon which the coin from the table is discharged, a sortingbar uponwhich the conveyer discharges the coin, and a receiver located beneaththe sorting-bar, substantially as described.

6. In a coin-assorter, a rotatory receivingtable mounted upon a verticalspindle and provided With a guide, a belt conveyer upon Which the moneyfrom the table is discharged, in combination with a horizontal shaftprovided With a handle, a pulley mounted on the shaft on which theconveyer is mounted, and gearing connecting the shaft and verticalspindle, whereby the conveyer and table are simultaneously operated,substantially as described.

7. In a cash-receptacle, the combination, With the rotatoryreceiving-table and the belt conveyer upon which the money from thetable is discharged, of the driving-shaft connected with andsimultaneously operating the conveyer and table.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.

JGSEF ROGGY.
